I'd buy it as long as it has some power and they keep the rear suicide doors.

It looks sweet... But that is only because several features of that car are ripped straight out of a Gen 5 'Vette. The way the back end is shaped, and that side marker... Also the reverse scoop thing on the side, looks EXACTLY like a C5... And the 5.7 powering it..? Sounds like Dodge is running out of ideas... :rolleyes:

I think it's pretty sweet how they maintained the charger look but updates it quite a bit to make it look sleek. I think they tried to merge successful ideas from the Corvette with the old look of the Charger and the old Hemi idea of the Charger. Anyway, this isn't nearly the same 5.7L as the Vette tho, quite a different design. 345 hp 365 ft-lb of torque for the pickup version, expect maybe 400 hp I would think.

From what I read on Dodge's site, it said they want a 4.6L DOHC supercharged engine with like 325 hp, so who knows what they want to do with this baby. Hemi only seems natural tho.

Why does this pic of the car look like a Dodge four door version of the current Corvette?

Oh well, it isn't like the first company to do copying, the 350Z looks like a cheap ripoff of the Audi TT roadster, the 240hp Honda Accord looks like a cheap rip-off of the current rear styling of the Mercades, the Lexus roadster is another cheap attempt to copy the Audi TT, and Subaru and Mitsu. are battling it out to see who can make the ugliest box like overdone rally type car they can produce while Ford and the ol' 206 are currently drop kicking them in the a** and not bragging about while doing it, thats left for people like me to do. I'd rather have a 300hp 206 over some crappy Evo anyday, Mitsu. losing all its backing because the car sucks so bad(funny that Mitsu.'s main sponsers are jumping on the 206 bandwagon), even their top driver that they had for 2001 went to Subraru because he hated the new Evo car. And now that same driver doesn't like the Subraru and admits that the best cars are the 206, Focus and Citroen Xsara. I would rather have any of the above mentioned 3 cars with the same hp as a WRX or a Evo and its easy to see why too.

Atleast Dodge is putting some kick into its cars, thats all that matters to me. Test drove the new Neon with the t/cer and I do think that it can run high5's-to-lows6's. That car is going to surprise some people. I have to give Dodge props for that little car, it can run, and I mean run. A little over styled but a great car overall.

Hey, what is that Ford 206, got any links?? Also, don't forget about the Hyundai Celica, I mean Tiburon, yeah that's right, Tiburon ;)

Kinda sorry I've been getting under your skin VTEC, just haven't been in the best of moods latetly and stupidly taking my anger out on dumb discussions. Hey, atleast it makes for good reading.

Oh, Hyundai Tiburon because of its size, plus it has a V-6, all WRC cars have I-4's because the WRC hp limit is 300hp which is easily obtainable with a lighter I-4, thus you don't see heavier V-6's in the Championship.

Heres the link to the WRC webpage, has every bit of info on each car including the "Peugot" 206, and all the little facts you need.

have fun, theres tons of stuff to look at.

Just want to mention these cars because they are long overlooked cars that would be great here in the states if they were eventually imported. Sad that they don't, just trying to say there are a ton of other import car manufact.'s in France, Italy and a ton of other places that deserve to be looked at, one of which being the drool worthy TVR Tuscan Speed 6. This car gives a Z06 a serious run for its money with a sweet sounding V-6 of all things.

Oh OK, I was gonna say something about how you didn't include Peugot cuz I have a French freind that told me all about how them and Citroen are really good at rallying and I didn't realize that the 206 is the name of their rally car, and I knew Ford used the Focus, so I was confused, but I don't know enough about rallying to have said anything. I know rallying looks really cool tho, too bad we don't have the same setup here in the states.

I gotta say, the rest of the world is keeping some nice cars from us. The Skyline, GTO (aka 3000GT but better), the turbo Silvia, the 250 hp turbo MR2, and many others from Japan alone. And the TVR line of cars is nice, and I like the Holdens (which we'll get the GTO soon so that will be OK), and the R32 Jetta, etc etc.
